Hi everyone!
I have a quite old HP Pavilion DV9000 equipped with a slow Intel Core 2 T5500 CPU @ 1.66GHz, with 2GB RAM that I understand cannot be increased further.
The laptop was equipped with two 100GB HD, a primary and a secondary one, and I swapped both, with a Corsair Force GT 120GB as primary, boot drive, plus a WD 500GB for storage.
The question is that it's becoming quite slow even if I clean up software crap often, and even if is indeed clean also phisically, with no dust nor else blocking the vent, the vent is always spinning and dissipating a lot of heath - moreike a vacuum cleaner than a PC...
I was wondering if it's worth upgrading it to Windows 7 Pro as I have an unused licence for it.
Please keep in mind this would be m kids laptop, mostly for internet browsing and writing short Word docs...
thanks a lot in advance for your expert advice
